For more than 30 years Bob Conrad has provided schools and libraries with entertaining educational programs and is one of the most successful school assembly presenters and motivational speakers in America today. Considered an expert on the field of children's entertainment , he has been a regular columnist in the entertainer's magazines Laugh Makers since it began publication in 1983, and Funny Paper since 2000, and is a much sought after lecturer on the subject. Bob Conrad is the author/ illustrator of several educational books for children including; "Bob Conrad's Rainforest Animals", "Bob Conrad's Deep Sea Adventure" and "Bob Conrad's Great Americans". He has also written several books for the entertainment field including; "The Puppetry Workshop Manual", " Mouth Puppets" and "Conrad's Chalk-Talk Cartoons". He wrote the chapter on puppetry in" The Birthday Party Business" (Picadilly Books).

A former music instructor, Conrad combines his teaching abilities with his talents of puppetry, ventriloquism, magic, music, acting and cartoon drawing to provide schools with programs that are at once interesting, educational, and entertaining. A craftsman , he builds his own puppets and props, researches and writes his programs.

The father of 15 children, nine boys and six girls - Bob truly understands children and knows how to reach them. His love for children shows in every performance.

Bob Conrad has been performing his entire life. At age 12, he was performing with the USO at Army bases. At 17 he was a regular on the WABD-TV program Star Time, along with Connie Frances and Joe Pesci. He studied and worked with internationally famous puppeteer Bil Baird. He has been performing in schools and libraries for more than 30 years, and performs more than 300 times each year. I don't think there is anyone in the field of school assemblies with more experience than Bob Conrad.
